I was asked about it the other day and I almost couldn't believe that it has been that long. There's so much you had missed out on since you left, papa.

The amazing thing is that... even so long after you had left, there are still so many random strangers coming up to me and to koko, telling us pretty much the same old things.

"I knew your dad."

"We would be in meetings after meetings, talking for weeks and weeks on a problem we couldn't solve. Then when your dad walked in, within 5 minutes, he's got the solution figured out already."

"He was such a good man.".

An interesting thing happened the other day.

I had completed my latest project, the new 24-hour gym. To find someone to officiate the opening ceremony, I sent an email to the Assistant Minister YB Dr Jerip.

To my surprise, the Assistant Minister accepted my invitation. After all, I run a small company. He runs the State of Sarawak. It was only until he went on stage that I realized the reason he accepted my invitation.

The Assistant Minister told the audience a story about how as a young student, he liked all the subjects in school, but the only subject he disliked was Physics. No matter how hard he tried, Physics and him just do not get along.

Until one a day, a teacher came along. This teacher used all kinds of stories and analogies to explain the difficult concepts in Physics. The teacher tried and tried, passionately and tirelessly, to educate his students. He worked so hard until Physics transformed from the student's most disliked subjects to one of his favourite subjects.

That teacher was you, Papa.

It's so amazing that you only worked only one year as a teacher, yet your students still remember you so well. Some people go through their entire life without so much as to leave a mark, yet after nine years, people still talk about the different ways you touched their lives.

That day, at the opening ceremony of LUF24HR, was easily one of the best days of my life.

I think you must be real proud, to see your former student grow up to become an Assistant Minister of Sarawak; to see him turning up to officiate the opening ceremony of your son's new business venture; which is inside a sports complex next to the temple housing your spiritual resting place.

I'm not one to believe in miracles, but events like this cannot be explained by mere coincidences.

If this is your way of telling me you love me, I wholeheartedly believe it.

On the 30th March 2014, Ming and I registered our marriage in a simple ceremony held at the Old Court House.

It was the most perfect ROM reception I could ever wished for. The only person missing there, was you. How I wish you could be there in attendance, to witness your youngest son and his wife's new chapter in life.

On the most important day of my life, I wore your gold watch. I guess... if you can't be here in person, then at least you can be with me in spirit. :)

Congratulations, Kenny & Ming. Both of you make a beautiful couple. As you move on to another phase of your life, rest assured that your Dad would be proud of your achievements. This is a very heart warming, touching post. Blessings!

I've been following your blog for the last 8 or 9 years...I lose track. I first ran across it researching a Hong Kong visit that my wife and I took. I live in Iowa but spent time growing up in HK. Anyway, this is the first time I've posted. Great story about your Dad! Wishing you all the best in this new chapter of your life. I always like to visit your blog from time to time and "catch up" on what's happening. Kind of like a favorite book that you leave on a nightstand. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experiences with the rest of us!

After reading your article and my heart is pain too! I woke up 2am and couldn't sleep cause I miss my dad too! He passed away 3 months ago and this year is very difficult for me to move on cause I lost my baby 2 months ago also. We know life still has to go on no matter how. Hope you have a happy marriage and I think your dad is feel proud of you.

Be careful here. Nobody can help you here or even suggest how you can get financial help. most answer of a loan lender here, you MUST ignore, because they are SCAMS…real SCAMS…i was a victim of which i was ripped thousands of dollars…well thank God for a Christian sister who referred me to a loan organization formed by some Christian Women Trust Fund. it is called Christian women Loan-funds Cooperative Organization(C.W.T.C.O) christianwomenloanfunds@cash4u.com and christianwomenloanfunds@gmail.com They made my life a valuable one and gave it a meaning. When the sister gave me their contact, I contacted them. Then I requested for a loan with all the necessary evidence to prove that I actually needed a loan, they approved a loan of $250,000.00 USD in 48 hours after meeting up to their necessary requirements, my loan was deposited in my bank account without collateral. Though i was very nervous with the loan organization at first due to my previous bad experiences, especially when the issue of me settling the Registration charges came up, I hold on to my faith due to the fact that my relative referred me, got it cleared,and as God should have it, little did I know that my financial shortcomings has come to a final end. If not for that quick referral from a christian sister to this genuine source ,I would have regretted my total life,because at that point in time i just divorced the father of my son, and my son (Kenneth) was faced with a life and death situation. I was faced with his hospital bills and i was also faced with foreclosure at my apartment. Details of this GOD-SENT organization won’t be disclose for now for fear of impersonation ( because it has been discovered that some persons are not really in need of financial help, but they just want to collect money from this genuine christian loan organization). And it is because of this reason they don,t give out loan anyhow. You must be able to convince them very well, and provide good proofs to show that you really need a loan before they can approve it for you. Their charge is very affordable and reliable compare to many out there,their interest rates is just 4%, from 1-10years repayment little documentation,and little credit check. As i have earlier said, for security reasons i can only provide their email address. Embrace this new initiative. Feel free to contact them via Email as their loan officer/rep sir Perry smith will attend to you and you will be free from scams and financial burdens.
